| Q. |
Which among the following is not a characteristic of transition metals? |
| A. | Tendency to gain electrons |
| B. | Low electro negativity |
| C. | Low ionization energy |
| D. | Malleability |
| Answer» A. Tendency to gain electrons | |
|
Explanation: The transition metals have a tendency to lose electrons. Since the electrons in the highest energy level are actually on a lower principal energy number than the ones before them, this makes it relatively easy to lose some or all of their electrons to land in stable state. |
